Abstract In this section, a number of fluid properties are defined. An implicit assumption in the classical fluid mechanics is the ‘continuum hypothesis’, implying that we treat fluids as continuous media, not as an ensemble of individual molecules [1]. This is justified in ‘normal’ circumstances. This way, the fluid and flow quantities are continuous and local quantities to be interpreted as averages over a volume V* which is very small (but still very large when compared to distances between molecules). This assumption allows to define local fluid and flow properties (e.g. velocity vectors). The continuum hypothesis is adopted here.
